A few months ago, I was at dinner with friends, and we ended up having an emotional talk (mostly about my self-esteem issues) and I cried for about half of dinner. When I got the receipt, the stunning waitress had written something across the top: "You're even beautiful when you cry." GMH - GivesMeHope

*** Random OMG Fact ***

Seth McFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, was supposed to be on one of the planes on 9/11.

More info: On 9/11, MacFarlane was scheduled to return to LA on AA Flight 11 from Boston. Suffering from a hangover from the previous night's celebrations, and with an incorrect departure time from his travel agent, he arrived at the airport sometime around 7:30 and was unable to board the flight as the gates had been closed. 15 minutes after departure the flight was hijacked, and at 8:46 a.m. was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

*** Random LGMH Story ***

Three years ago, almost to the day, I left a note for a guy from my French class' textbook asking him to call me. That day, being the last day of school and the last day I would ever see him, I told him to check inside his book, before I ran away. We're still together. Take that chance.

this is something outspoken of the waitress... the act of crying by one normally afflicts the other. but in your circumstances, her way of consolation was unanticipated.
